Guarulhos
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at the Guarulhos Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $800. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my department head has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student. The payment will go directly to the the Guarulhos Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $320 • Final term tuition: $370 • Exam and lab fees: $55 • Textbooks and materials: $55 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Paulo

      It's all in the list in the story. outstanding tuition balance is the big one at $320, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.

    Wishing you peace, Paulo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care

      Praying for you, Paulo. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Guarulhos

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Guarulhos

          sending strength, Paulo. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
